The VInvest Metric Cheat Sheet
Fundamental analysis is the “X-Ray” of a business. Use this guide to read the DNA.

Metric
ROIC (5Y Avg)
The Professional Term
Return on Invested Capital
The VInvest “Plain English” Definition
The Efficiency Score. For every $100 the company spends, how much profit does it generate? High ROIC = A high-quality “Moat.”
Metric
Earnings Yield
The Professional Term
Inverse P/E Ratio
The VInvest “Plain English” Definition
The Profitability Rate. If the company paid you all its earnings today, what would your “Interest Rate” be? Higher is better.
Metric
Intrinsic Value
The Professional Term
DCF Valuation
The VInvest “Plain English” Definition
The “Goldline.” The true mathematical worth of the business based on future cash, not current hype.
Metric
Intrinsic/Market Cap
The Professional Term
Valuation Delta
The VInvest “Plain English” Definition
The Opportunity Gap. If this is above 1.0, the business is worth more than its current price. You are “buying a dollar for 70 cents.”
Metric
Overall Rank
The Professional Term
Sum-of-Ranks
The VInvest “Plain English” Definition
The Power Ranking. We rank 10,000+ stocks by the metrics above. The lowest sum = Rank #1 (The Top of the Class).

“Test the Theory, Secure the Win”
The Mission: Use the Valuation Lab to simulate how macro-shocks (like rate hikes) impact your holdings.
The Masterclass Video: How to run a Macro Stress-Test in the Lab to prepare for market shifts.
Legendary Inspiration: Dalio builds “Antifragile” systems. The Lab is your personal machine to build a portfolio that thrives in any climate.
The Circle of Competence
You don’t need to be an expert in 10,000 companies. You only need to be right about a few. The Circle of Competence is the boundary between the industries you truly understand and the ones where you are just “guessing.”
“Knowing what you don’t know is more useful than being brilliant.” — Charlie Munger
How to build your Circle using VInvest:
Filter by Expertise
Use the Live Value Screener to filter only for sectors you understand (e.g., Tech, Healthcare, or Retail).
Audit the Familiar
Run a DNA Audit on companies you use in your daily life. Does the math match your experience as a customer?
The Sandbox Phase
Once you find a company you understand, “play” in the Valuation Lab. See how it reacts to different prices without spending a dime.
The “Strike” Zone
Add these companies to your Watchlist. VInvest will alert you when they hit the Intrinsic Goldline. You don’t chase the market; you wait for the market to come to you.
The Intelligence Feed
“Most news is noise. We find the signal that threatens your thesis.”
The Average Joe is overwhelmed by hundreds of headlines a day. VInvest changes the game by filtering news through the lens of Growth and Disruption. We don’t just show you news about a ticker; we show you news that impacts the assumptions behind your investment.
How the Intelligence Feed Works:
Ticker & Industry Precision:
We tag every story by its specific impact on your Circle of Competence.
The “Optimism Audit”
Our engine flags news that suggests current growth assumptions are too optimistic. (e.g., If a company’s DNA relies on 20% growth, but a new regulation or competitor emerges, we move that news to the top).
Disruption Alerts
We track “Existential Threats”—the technologies or shifts that could make a company’s moat disappear overnight.
The VInvest Social Exchange: Collaborative Command
Precision is better when shared.
Investing shouldn’t be a lonely journey. VInvest includes a built-in Social Exchange where logic meets community.
The Command Groups
Join or create private chat groups (think Facebook Groups, but for Finance). Share a DNA Audit directly into the chat to get a second pair of eyes on your logic.
Crowdsourced Conviction
Follow “Top-Ranked Commanders” and see which companies are currently trending within the community based on Fundamental Rank, not just hype.
Public vs. Private
Build your thesis in a private group of friends, then “Go Public” by publishing your research to the entire VInvest community to build your reputation as a Master Analyst.
Real-Time Discussion
Discuss earnings reports or macro shifts 24/7 with a community that speaks the same language of ROIC and Safety Ceilings

Why VInvest is Your “Saver”
The “Anti-Gambling” Guardrail.
Most apps profit from your emotions. VInvest profits from your logic.
* The Friction: We prevent impulsive trades by showing you the Overall Rank. If a stock is Rank #9,000, we show you exactly why it’s a risk.
The Reality Check: While the internet tells you a stock is “going to the moon,” VInvest shows you the Intrinsic Goldline (the ground). We are the “Bouncer” at the door of your portfolio.
